D.-partmeat to Investigate. Nw Yokk, May 18. Tbe Herald this morning publishes a story from Key West, Fla., which gives an account of the kidnapping of Edward Santa Boss, a youth of 16 yean, from New Orleans. Bosa relates a pitiful story, which, if true, would call for a fall investigation by our government Roes states that last September, at New Orleans, he was enticed on board a Teasel, the captain of which offered to take him to Key West. While he was talking with the captain the vessel started, and he and sixty-six others who had been also entrapped, were canied to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, by the steamer Ella Knight. We arrived at Puerto Barrios, in Guatemala, about sundown of Wednes-" day, October 8, after a voyage of a little - over six days. Owing to eating poor food and drinking brackish water, nearly all of oar party were sick. Five were for days unable to get on deck. Altogether the passage wss a very disagreeable one. ' Weaaeboredisi tlwapgu harbor, about a quarter of a mile from shore, when Jim O'Donald of Glasgow, Scotland, of Irish descent (the man who entrapped me at New Orleans), along with the captain and mate, went ashore, where I heard him call oat "Here are my cattle, for which I am to get $10 per head." We were landed in small boats and counted, whereupon O'Donald went up to the office of J. Bousierron, the president of the railroad company, and received 670 for the shipment of sixty-seven men. Buusierron, though a Kentuckian, spoke French fluently. N. B. Day of Chattanooga, Tenn., is vice president. - When I left New Orleans I bad $22 in my pocket. As we were landing, Mr. Day sung out, "Hurrah! Look at the boys; there is plenty of money there." Mr. Bousierron said to the soldiers, "Go to searching." The soldiers were native blacks and spoke English, and were nnder the command of a tall white man. If any of our party objected to being searched his money and arms were taken from him by force, and there was a tree near at hand and a lash was shaken to show them that he would be tied up and whipped. As- we were brought ashore in small parties, those remaining on board did not know what was in store for them until they, too, were forced to give up their property. President Bousierron sat at a table with a box at hand, into which he dropped the money as it was passed to him by the soldiers after taking it from oar party. As it was never intended that the workmen should ever earn and be ' paid mosejr enough to get away from Puerto Barries, they were at once robbed of what money they brought with them in order that that door -of escape might also be closed against them. The work at Puerto Barrios was commenced 'in July, but during August and September there were not many men secured. In October they began to get their supply. New Orleans was filling up ' with peu pie, and O'Donald and Stallings knew how to get them to Puerto Barrios. . I figure op the following receipts of laborers np to January 14, when I left: At work when our party arrived, about 300; oar party, per Ella Knight, 67; brought bv Wanderer, 173; brought by Blanche Henderson, 120; brought by Ella Knight, 17 ; total 677. At work when I left, about 200; to be accounted for, 477. If a laborer would not go oat to work he was denied food. Men were kicked until they left sick beds to letnra to work. The sys- - tern was one of torture, bat life was cheap. The men only cost the company $10 each. It was President Barrios's habit to pay us a monthly visit from the interior, riding a mule. If unable to come himself he sent his agent to inspect the work, and report. The men were worked in gangs of 10, 17 or 20, and whatever a man was told to do he was expected to do. There were no "strikes" allowed at Puerto Barrios. There were no ministry, no church, . no religious services of any kind while I was there. The hospital was an old ragged tent infested with lizards, gnats and mos- . quitoes. - Quinine was the great remedy in sickness, and the men were stuffed with it. One poor. Frenchman became flighty with it, and fled to the woods to die ih the marshes of the San Francisco river, five miles away. There was no burial ground. When a man died he was wrapped in a blanket, and a hole was dug in the spot most convenient and the body pat away without ceremony. The woods and mountain sides about Puerto Barrios became so full of exposed decayed bodies that the place must, for a season, be a more than usually unhealthy place to live in. Rosa says that he made his escape last January, and has jnat landed in this country. WRIGHT WAS SOT RIGHT, For It Seems Ha Took the City Funds to the Extent of Nearly S40O0. Spbihofikld, III, May 18. Consider-able excitement has been occasioned here by the circulation of a report that City Treasurer Presto Wright was a defaulter. Wright has held the office of city treasurer for the past five yean continuously. At the: lasf election he was not a candidate and George Gaston, the Democratic candidate, was- elected. It was claimed that Gaston was not eligible, as be had not lived in the city a year, end Wright refused to turn over the books and funds. The council decided Gaston eligible, and ordered- Wright to tarn over the office and ' appurtenances. Five difler- ent days were designated by Wright for the transfer, but he always failed to materialize, and this delay gave rue - to the suspicion that he was short. An investigation of the comptroller's bank account was found to be about $3600 short. . His bondsmen, ex Governor Palmer, General John A. McClernand and J.C. Lamb, were notified, and Wright was notified to meet them yesterday. Tnis he agreed to do. but has not yet been seen by them or their attorney, who were nunung lor mm all tne afternoon. Wll. k. -I ku. was a war Democrat, and was appointed to the Springfield postoffice by President Lincoln. It was alleged that when he left that office he was a defaulter to the amount of about $6000. . STRIKE OF THE BBICKHAK1KS. What the Mob Want A Statement of Their Grievances. Detroit, May 18. A strike has been begun by the laborers in the brick-yards at Springwelk which may result in considerable trouble. This morning the strikers massed 300 strong and went to the va rious brick-yards, demanding that work be stoDoed. Auirast Little refused and was disarmed and shaken np, but not seriously injured. At Smith & Sruithdiel's the strikers cut the belt on the flywheel and prevented farther working ot the ma chinery. There was some trouble at Hall A Wolfe's before the men quit. The total number who have quit work voluntarily or under compulsion ij 643. The wares now paid in as follows : Lowest priced la borers 1.25 per day, bouse rent tree ; by the month others get from $36 to $45 with the same privileges. The strikers demand an advance. However, just how much they want or what they want is a matter of conjecture, as they have made no for mat demands. - This afternoon has been auiet in Spring- wells. The claims of the strikers are taking definite shape. They assert that tney are obliged to wok irom a. m. to 5 p. m., 26 days in the month, at the rate of pay ranging from $32 to $36. and that every rainy day, when no work can be done, a proportionate sum is taken out of their wages. - On the other hand, some of the bosses claim that this $32 to $36 per month does not include house rent, which is thrown in gratis. The men jfleny that noose rent fa given tnem, ana want tneir oav rain or shine. The citizens of Springwells are said to sympathize with the strikers. During the trouble this morning the son of Mr. Wolf, proprietor of one of the brick-yards, was severely beaten by two strikers, lor wnose arrest warrants have been issued. It is stated that the men will prevent all work about the yards tomorrow. Arrangements have . T ii J: . i .1 oeen maae to queu any uunuruauroa uuu mav arise tonight. The brickmakers, at a meeting this afternoon, decided to em ploy no more men until tne trouDie is settled satisfactorily, that the main cause for a riot is removed.

B. church the theme of Bishop Glossbrenner in the morning was "The inheritance of the saints in light." The venerable bishop spoke at the academy to a large audience with the vim that has always been his characteristic during his many years of work. ' He is now in bis 72d year, having held the office of bishop for over 40 years. At 7 :30 Dr. Z. Warner of Parkersburg, W. Va., spoke from John 15 : 26 27 ; subject : " Witnessing in power for Christ." At the Presbyterian church 10:30 a. m.. Dr. L.

The General conference reconvened this morning at 8:30 o'clock. Bishop Dickson in the chair. Kev. M. ii. Tib-bels of Minnesota conducted the devotions. Minutes of Saturday were read and approved. Tne motion to recommit, with instruc tions, the item touching the contest from Kock Kiver conference from the committee on credentials, excited considerable discussion. The item was recommitted. Further report from the committee on credentials stated that in the opinion of the committee A. ifenett ot Oregon was not a member of the church at the time of his election. - The report was amended so as to say therefore he is not entitled to his seat. On this item there was an earnest discussion. This case is one where the class to which Mr. Bennett belonged was dis organized and he failed to unite with another. The wording of the discipline of the church is : Any minister failing or refusing to unite with some convenient class shall lose his official relation. Mr. Benett was not admitted to his seat. : The delegates reassembled for the afternoon session at 2 o'clock. Rev. M. O. Lane of Pennsylvania conducted the devotions. Dr. Hott asked the privilege to record his vote on the report unseating A. Benett as passed this morning.

The report recom mends toe repeal of the advisory rule on church choirs, increases the number of sessions of the stationery committee, with some verbal changes laid over till to morrow. At 3 o'clock the conference took a recess till tomorrow morning. The committees were called in order and their time of meeting fixed. This afternoon solid work is being done by the committees, which will doubtless show when the reports are made in the morning. This evening Rev. H. Floyd of Indiana reached in the U. B. church and Rev. G. ickafoose of Oregon in the M. E. church. This beautiful and enterprising city is manifestly possessed of the benevolent spirit of its head man. The courtesies and bountiful entertainment by the citizens is marked. The almost universal exclamation of the delegates is: "We have excellent homes." The hope is that at the close of the session the good people here may be able to say as much of the conference. Explosion of a Cotton-Mill Boiler. Macon, Ga., May 18.

The Athletics broke their spell of hard luck by winning a game from the Alleghenys. It was their first victory in thirteen games. Mathews pitched for them and the home team could do nothing with him, which is the secret of their defeat. Morris was also very effective but all the errors made by the Alleghenys were very costly. Euehne's wild throw in the seventh let the bars down for three runs and Carroll's wild throw in the fifth for two more. The visitors were very fortunate in getting hits at the right place and they played a fine fielding game. When the last man was out they all feM upon their knees and lifted their caps.

There has been no change in the dimensions of the'building since those last settled on. A rumor was on the streets this morning that an attempt would be made to stop the erection of the building by an injunction, but it was not attempted. Tne building will be ready for decoration by June 1, as a big force will be put on immediately. Fifteen counties have already approved their assignments as made by the committee on entertainment.The following committees have been named in connection with the Prohibition State convention: On finance, railroads and press; music, entertainment invitations, printing and badges ; hotels, entertainments and reception, and decoration and furniture. The Prohibition ists will make an effort to get the use of the Republican wigwam building for their convention, which they claim will draw almost' as large crowds as the Republicans. If they fail in this they will use Black's opera-house. The Springfield Daily Gazette has come out with several articles favoring Kennedy in a pronounced manner. Saturday's paper contained interviews with a number of citizens who declared themselves strongly for Kennedy. The Richmond (Ind.) Base-ball club has applied for admission to the Inter-state Base-ball League. As the club is a strong organization there is a favorable feeling toward it. Johnny McCoy, a small boy, had his leg broken badly by a Bee Line engine today, and may lose the limb. The following delegates to the State convention chosen Saturday, Messrs. Stafford, Neff, Sultzback, Hamlin, Haus-ton, Rider and Beach, are supposed to favor Kennedy, who has quite a strong following in Clarke county. The Forest Fires Will the Miners Accept th Forty-Cent Bate. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Naw Stbaitsville, May 18. The destructive forest fires that have been in progress here; since Saturday are still burning, but the men who are working are of the opinion that it can be kept from spreading farther. A heavy rain would be very benefieial toward extinguishing it. The origin of the fire is attributed to the work of certain mischievous boys. The losses will amount to thousands of dollars. The crisis in the proposition to mine coal for 40 cents per ton is about reached. Mine No. 9, leased by James Coyle, is ready to commence working, and forty men have made application for work at the reduction. The most are from Gore and vicinity, and it is said that they are the same men who who went to the valley to blackleg during the strike. The miners here will be compelled to go to work or take radical measures to prevent them from working. There is an inclination to employ the latter means rather than work at that starving price. Of course the coal will go to the furnace, and the company thinks that it is a demonstrated' fact that all furnace mines will work 10 cents less ' than shipping banks, and if allowed, in a short time all mines will be loading furnace coal, whether the furnace is situated here or in Canada. Delivering Manuscript of 11 is Book. New Yokk, May 18. General Grant last night rested well and gained his usual amount of sleep. He did not experience any great pain last night nor does he today. He arose between 8 and 9 o'clock and was feeling comparatively bright and strong this morning.- A mass of revised proof and new manuscript for the forthcoming book was taken by Colonel Grant to the publishers this morning. Tne general will do no work today. . The improvement in General Grant's condition continues. This applies solely to his general condition bodily, not to his local condition as affected by cancer. He passed the day quietly reviewing some of the work of his book and expects Tuesday to resume dictation if he feels as well as he did yesterday. "This was one of his good days," said Colonel Fred. Grant, but he did not feel like going out. He may go out tomorrow, possibly, if the weather permits. His throat still continues very sore." The Seven teen-Tear Locust. Already Here. Chicago, May 18. A special from Bridgeport, 111., says : The seventeen-year locusts which Professor Reilly predicted, as mentioned in recent Washington dispatches, seem to have made their first appearance here. They have been found in large numbers, close to the surface of the ground and moving upward. The indications are strong that an unusually large swarm will appear in a short time. Very extensive apple orchards were planted by capitalists this spring and a large eruption of locusts will almost certainly kill them. Destructive Fires One Lite Lost. Detroit, Maw 18. An East Saginaw special to the Free Press says: The town of Graffville, on the Detroit, Lansing and Northern railroad, was entirely destroyed by fire Sunday, including the mill and a quantity of shingles and lumber.Twenty-five families lost everything. Loss $40,000 to $50,000. A Frankfort special says: The forest fires in this neighborhood have been put out by the rain. A loss of one life is reported from Arcadia, and there are rumors of many narrow escapes. A large area of valuable timber land has been burnt over. FOREIGN NEWS. EXGL4JTO. London, May 18. Judge vHawkins this morning began the summing up in the case of Cunningham and Burton, on trial for treason-felony in connection with the recent dynamite explosions. The judge explained the nature of the charge against the prisoners, and the law in relation thereto. He then analyzed the evidence against Burton, and called the attention of the jury to the fact that Burton's statement was not mads Under oath, and therefore entitled to very little credence. If there was any truth in the statement, said the judge, it was astounding that no witness was called to support it. Mr. E. J. Phelps, the new ' United States minister to England, was in the courtroom, dressed in mourning, and listened - closely to the judge's charge. Mr. Phelps seemed very much impressed by the stern language of the judge. The jury returned a verdict finding both prisoners guilty. Cunningham maintained his self-composure, but Burton broke down and sobbed when the verdict was rendered. When the prisoners were asked if they had anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed upon them, Cunningham protested that he was innocent. He said he was willing to accept penal servitude for life, but they could not touch his soul. Burton simply declared that he was innocent. The court1 at once sentenced both men to penal servitude for life. The announcement of this sentence was received by the spectators with applause, which the court suppressed. Minister Phelps sat beside Justice Hawkins while he was sentencing Cunningham and Burton. In sentencing the prisoners, Justice Hawkins said they had been convicted of a crime as bad, cruel and wicked as had ever entered the heart of man. and it ceuld not be too well .known that neither Her Majesty the vueen, nor ner advisers could be intimidated by any such means. The humanity of those in charge of the prosecution alone prevented them from indicting the prisoners for high treason, on conviction of which their lives had been forfeited.

Mitchell, vice consul and deputy consul general at London has resigned.In the House of Commons, Mr. Gladstone, in answer to a question by Sir Stafford Northcote, said that the negotiations with Russia concerning the Afghan question were still unfinished, and on that account the government was unable to present any more papers on the subject to Parliament now, as it was difficult to separate those relating to Ak-Tepe from those relating to other affairs belonging to the same question. In the House of Commons this after-ternoon Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, under foreign secretary, announced that the government regretted to inform the House that the negotiations which had been carried on with Spain for a commercial treaty, had terminated unsatisfactorily. The government, the under secretary, said, could only consider the recent actions of Spain as a refusal to fulfill the fundamental conclusions of the declaration of December 21, 1884, and Sir R. D. Morier, the British minister to Madrid, had therefore been instructed to inform Spain that under the circumstances the negotiations were at an end. The papers on the subject would be distributed, Lord Edmund said, as soon as possible. The object of the negotiations, now broken off, was to obtain for England the most favored nation treatment. - ' CANADA. Ottawa, May 18. The government has not yet considered the case of Riel.

(Site JM!i (iifiitrWDIltfrll UK A TROPICAL SDN, WHERE SWEET MAGNOLIAS BLOOM, Thm Cry of tao Watte Hani Conses Op for ' . SneeorAlleged AMaettoa of as American Boy A Cam for the Stat. D.-partmeat to Investigate. Nw Yokk, May 18. Tbe Herald this morning publishes a story from Key West, Fla., which gives an account of the kidnapping of Edward Santa Boss, a youth of 16 yean, from New Orleans. Bosa relates a pitiful story, which, if true, would call for a fall investigation by our government Roes states that last September, at New Orleans, he was enticed on board a Teasel, the captain of which offered to take him to Key West. While he was talking with the captain the vessel started, and he and sixty-six others who had been also entrapped, were canied to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, by the steamer Ella Knight. We arrived at Puerto Barrios, in Guatemala, about sundown of Wednes-" day, October 8, after a voyage of a little - over six days. Owing to eating poor food and drinking brackish water, nearly all of oar party were sick. Five were for days unable to get on deck. Altogether the passage wss a very disagreeable one. ' Weaaeboredisi tlwapgu harbor, about a quarter of a mile from shore, when Jim O'Donald of Glasgow, Scotland, of Irish descent (the man who entrapped me at New Orleans), along with the captain and mate, went ashore, where I heard him call oat "Here are my cattle, for which I am to get $10 per head." We were landed in small boats and counted, whereupon O'Donald went up to the office of J. Bousierron, the president of the railroad company, and received 670 for the shipment of sixty-seven men. Buusierron, though a Kentuckian, spoke French fluently. N. B. Day of Chattanooga, Tenn., is vice president. - When I left New Orleans I bad $22 in my pocket. As we were landing, Mr. Day sung out, "Hurrah! Look at the boys; there is plenty of money there." Mr. Bousierron said to the soldiers, "Go to searching." The soldiers were native blacks and spoke English, and were nnder the command of a tall white man. If any of our party objected to being searched his money and arms were taken from him by force, and there was a tree near at hand and a lash was shaken to show them that he would be tied up and whipped. As- we were brought ashore in small parties, those remaining on board did not know what was in store for them until they, too, were forced to give up their property. President Bousierron sat at a table with a box at hand, into which he dropped the money as it was passed to him by the soldiers after taking it from oar party. As it was never intended that the workmen should ever earn and be ' paid mosejr enough to get away from Puerto Barries, they were at once robbed of what money they brought with them in order that that door -of escape might also be closed against them. The work at Puerto Barrios was commenced 'in July, but during August and September there were not many men secured. In October they began to get their supply. New Orleans was filling up ' with peu pie, and O'Donald and Stallings knew how to get them to Puerto Barrios. . I figure op the following receipts of laborers np to January 14, when I left: At work when our party arrived, about 300; oar party, per Ella Knight, 67; brought bv Wanderer, 173; brought by Blanche Henderson, 120; brought by Ella Knight, 17 ; total 677. At work when I left, about 200; to be accounted for, 477. If a laborer would not go oat to work he was denied food. Men were kicked until they left sick beds to letnra to work. The sys- - tern was one of torture, bat life was cheap. The men only cost the company $10 each. It was President Barrios's habit to pay us a monthly visit from the interior, riding a mule. If unable to come himself he sent his agent to inspect the work, and report. The men were worked in gangs of 10, 17 or 20, and whatever a man was told to do he was expected to do. There were no "strikes" allowed at Puerto Barrios. There were no ministry, no church, . no religious services of any kind while I was there. The hospital was an old ragged tent infested with lizards, gnats and mos- . quitoes. - Quinine was the great remedy in sickness, and the men were stuffed with it. One poor. Frenchman became flighty with it, and fled to the woods to die ih the marshes of the San Francisco river, five miles away. There was no burial ground. When a man died he was wrapped in a blanket, and a hole was dug in the spot most convenient and the body pat away without ceremony. The woods and mountain sides about Puerto Barrios became so full of exposed decayed bodies that the place must, for a season, be a more than usually unhealthy place to live in. Rosa says that he made his escape last January, and has jnat landed in this country. WRIGHT WAS SOT RIGHT, For It Seems Ha Took the City Funds to the Extent of Nearly S40O0. Spbihofikld, III, May 18. Consider-able excitement has been occasioned here by the circulation of a report that City Treasurer Presto Wright was a defaulter. Wright has held the office of city treasurer for the past five yean continuously. At the: lasf election he was not a candidate and George Gaston, the Democratic candidate, was- elected. It was claimed that Gaston was not eligible, as be had not lived in the city a year, end Wright refused to turn over the books and funds. The council decided Gaston eligible, and ordered- Wright to tarn over the office and ' appurtenances. Five difler- ent days were designated by Wright for the transfer, but he always failed to materialize, and this delay gave rue - to the suspicion that he was short. An investigation of the comptroller's bank account was found to be about $3600 short. . His bondsmen, ex Governor Palmer, General John A. McClernand and J.C. Lamb, were notified, and Wright was notified to meet them yesterday. Tnis he agreed to do. but has not yet been seen by them or their attorney, who were nunung lor mm all tne afternoon. Wll. k. -I ku. was a war Democrat, and was appointed to the Springfield postoffice by President Lincoln. It was alleged that when he left that office he was a defaulter to the amount of about $6000. . STRIKE OF THE BBICKHAK1KS. What the Mob Want A Statement of Their Grievances. Detroit, May 18. A strike has been begun by the laborers in the brick-yards at Springwelk which may result in considerable trouble. This morning the strikers massed 300 strong and went to the va rious brick-yards, demanding that work be stoDoed. Auirast Little refused and was disarmed and shaken np, but not seriously injured.

The wares now paid in as follows : Lowest priced la borers 1.25 per day, bouse rent tree ; by the month others get from $36 to $45 with the same privileges. The strikers demand an advance. However, just how much they want or what they want is a matter of conjecture, as they have made no for mat demands. - This afternoon has been auiet in Spring- wells. The claims of the strikers are taking definite shape. They assert that tney are obliged to wok irom a. m. to 5 p. m., 26 days in the month, at the rate of pay ranging from $32 to $36. and that every rainy day, when no work can be done, a proportionate sum is taken out of their wages. - On the other hand, some of the bosses claim that this $32 to $36 per month does not include house rent, which is thrown in gratis. The men jfleny that noose rent fa given tnem, ana want tneir oav rain or shine. The citizens of Springwells are said to sympathize with the strikers. During the trouble this morning the son of Mr. Wolf, proprietor of one of the brick-yards, was severely beaten by two strikers, lor wnose arrest warrants have been issued. It is stated that the men will prevent all work about the yards tomorrow. Arrangements have . T ii J: . i .1 oeen maae to queu any uunuruauroa uuu mav arise tonight. The brickmakers, at a meeting this afternoon, decided to em ploy no more men until tne trouDie is settled satisfactorily, that the main cause for a riot is removed.

Further report from the committee on credentials stated that in the opinion of the committee A. ifenett ot Oregon was not a member of the church at the time of his election. - The report was amended so as to say therefore he is not entitled to his seat. On this item there was an earnest discussion. This case is one where the class to which Mr. Bennett belonged was dis organized and he failed to unite with another. The wording of the discipline of the church is : Any minister failing or refusing to unite with some convenient class shall lose his official relation.

B. church and Rev. G. ickafoose of Oregon in the M. E. church. This beautiful and enterprising city is manifestly possessed of the benevolent spirit of its head man.

The Athletics broke their spell of hard luck by winning a game from the Alleghenys. It was their first victory in thirteen games. Mathews pitched for them and the home team could do nothing with him, which is the secret of their defeat. Morris was also very effective but all the errors made by the Alleghenys were very costly. Euehne's wild throw in the seventh let the bars down for three runs and Carroll's wild throw in the fifth for two more. The visitors were very fortunate in getting hits at the right place and they played a fine fielding game. When the last man was out they all feM upon their knees and lifted their caps.

There has been no change in the dimensions of the'building since those last settled on. A rumor was on the streets this morning that an attempt would be made to stop the erection of the building by an injunction, but it was not attempted. Tne building will be ready for decoration by June 1, as a big force will be put on immediately. Fifteen counties have already approved their assignments as made by the committee on entertainment.The following committees have been named in connection with the Prohibition State convention: On finance, railroads and press; music, entertainment invitations, printing and badges ; hotels, entertainments and reception, and decoration and furniture.

If they fail in this they will use Black's opera-house. The Springfield Daily Gazette has come out with several articles favoring Kennedy in a pronounced manner. Saturday's paper contained interviews with a number of citizens who declared themselves strongly for Kennedy. The Richmond (Ind.) Base-ball club has applied for admission to the Inter-state Base-ball League. As the club is a strong organization there is a favorable feeling toward it. Johnny McCoy, a small boy, had his leg broken badly by a Bee Line engine today, and may lose the limb. The following delegates to the State convention chosen Saturday, Messrs. Stafford, Neff, Sultzback, Hamlin, Haus-ton, Rider and Beach, are supposed to favor Kennedy, who has quite a strong following in Clarke county. The Forest Fires Will the Miners Accept th Forty-Cent Bate. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Naw Stbaitsville, May 18. The destructive forest fires that have been in progress here; since Saturday are still burning, but the men who are working are of the opinion that it can be kept from spreading farther. A heavy rain would be very benefieial toward extinguishing it. The origin of the fire is attributed to the work of certain mischievous boys. The losses will amount to thousands of dollars. The crisis in the proposition to mine coal for 40 cents per ton is about reached. Mine No. 9, leased by James Coyle, is ready to commence working, and forty men have made application for work at the reduction. The most are from Gore and vicinity, and it is said that they are the same men who who went to the valley to blackleg during the strike. The miners here will be compelled to go to work or take radical measures to prevent them from working. There is an inclination to employ the latter means rather than work at that starving price. Of course the coal will go to the furnace, and the company thinks that it is a demonstrated' fact that all furnace mines will work 10 cents less ' than shipping banks, and if allowed, in a short time all mines will be loading furnace coal, whether the furnace is situated here or in Canada. Delivering Manuscript of 11 is Book. New Yokk, May 18. General Grant last night rested well and gained his usual amount of sleep. He did not experience any great pain last night nor does he today. He arose between 8 and 9 o'clock and was feeling comparatively bright and strong this morning.- A mass of revised proof and new manuscript for the forthcoming book was taken by Colonel Grant to the publishers this morning. Tne general will do no work today. . The improvement in General Grant's condition continues. This applies solely to his general condition bodily, not to his local condition as affected by cancer. He passed the day quietly reviewing some of the work of his book and expects Tuesday to resume dictation if he feels as well as he did yesterday. "This was one of his good days," said Colonel Fred. Grant, but he did not feel like going out. He may go out tomorrow, possibly, if the weather permits. His throat still continues very sore." The Seven teen-Tear Locust. Already Here. Chicago, May 18. A special from Bridgeport, 111., says : The seventeen-year locusts which Professor Reilly predicted, as mentioned in recent Washington dispatches, seem to have made their first appearance here. They have been found in large numbers, close to the surface of the ground and moving upward. The indications are strong that an unusually large swarm will appear in a short time. Very extensive apple orchards were planted by capitalists this spring and a large eruption of locusts will almost certainly kill them. Destructive Fires One Lite Lost. Detroit, Maw 18. An East Saginaw special to the Free Press says: The town of Graffville, on the Detroit, Lansing and Northern railroad, was entirely destroyed by fire Sunday, including the mill and a quantity of shingles and lumber.Twenty-five families lost everything.

Judge vHawkins this morning began the summing up in the case of Cunningham and Burton, on trial for treason-felony in connection with the recent dynamite explosions. The judge explained the nature of the charge against the prisoners, and the law in relation thereto. He then analyzed the evidence against Burton, and called the attention of the jury to the fact that Burton's statement was not mads Under oath, and therefore entitled to very little credence. If there was any truth in the statement, said the judge, it was astounding that no witness was called to support it. Mr. E. J. Phelps, the new ' United States minister to England, was in the courtroom, dressed in mourning, and listened - closely to the judge's charge. Mr. Phelps seemed very much impressed by the stern language of the judge. The jury returned a verdict finding both prisoners guilty. Cunningham maintained his self-composure, but Burton broke down and sobbed when the verdict was rendered. When the prisoners were asked if they had anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed upon them, Cunningham protested that he was innocent. He said he was willing to accept penal servitude for life, but they could not touch his soul. Burton simply declared that he was innocent. The court1 at once sentenced both men to penal servitude for life. The announcement of this sentence was received by the spectators with applause, which the court suppressed. Minister Phelps sat beside Justice Hawkins while he was sentencing Cunningham and Burton. In sentencing the prisoners, Justice Hawkins said they had been convicted of a crime as bad, cruel and wicked as had ever entered the heart of man. and it ceuld not be too well .known that neither Her Majesty the vueen, nor ner advisers could be intimidated by any such means. The humanity of those in charge of the prosecution alone prevented them from indicting the prisoners for high treason, on conviction of which their lives had been forfeited. Ex Governor Thomas Waller of Connecticut, the new consul general of the United States at London, was presented by General Merriit, his predecessor, to the Lord Mayor of London on Friday last, and assumed the duties of the consulate today. General Merritt will visit the continent before returning to the United States. Mr. Dibbeas H. Mitchell, vice consul and deputy consul general at London has resigned.In the House of Commons, Mr. Gladstone, in answer to a question by Sir Stafford Northcote, said that the negotiations with Russia concerning the Afghan question were still unfinished, and on that account the government was unable to present any more papers on the subject to Parliament now, as it was difficult to separate those relating to Ak-Tepe from those relating to other affairs belonging to the same question. In the House of Commons this after-ternoon Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, under foreign secretary, announced that the government regretted to inform the House that the negotiations which had been carried on with Spain for a commercial treaty, had terminated unsatisfactorily. The government, the under secretary, said, could only consider the recent actions of Spain as a refusal to fulfill the fundamental conclusions of the declaration of December 21, 1884, and Sir R. D. Morier, the British minister to Madrid, had therefore been instructed to inform Spain that under the circumstances the negotiations were at an end. The papers on the subject would be distributed, Lord Edmund said, as soon as possible. The object of the negotiations, now broken off, was to obtain for England the most favored nation treatment. - ' CANADA. Ottawa, May 18. The government has not yet considered the case of Riel. The best lawyers here say he will be tried for treason-felony under the treason-felony act of 1868. Montreal, May 18.

Somerset village, near Quebec, was destroyed by fire on Saturday, about 100 houses being burned, including two churches, and several manufacturing establishments. The XIX Steele, the organ of M. Brisson, president of the French ministerial council, extols the patriotism of the BritUli Parliament and of Mr. Gladstone in their efforts to preserve peace. It advises Russia not to m-ke Mr. Gladstone's position untenable by measures offensive to British amour propre. The Indian government has decided to send Mr. Carey, a member of the British civil service, to Yarkund, inChinese-Turkis-tan. It is believed that Mr. Carey s mission has relation to tbe possible importance of Kashgar in Chinese-Turkiatan, in the event of war with Russia, and it is thought he may arrange the preliminary steps for an Anglo-Chinese alliance.
